The Ape Man: Truth or Fiction?

Thread moved here from the Proposed New Topics forum.

As noted much of your post is off topic. You may take individual items to more appropriate theads if you are prepared to defend what you say.You have not, as yet, offered defence for what you have said here. I suggest you review the forum guidelines.Continued violation of them can result in suspension of priviledges for a time.

The evolution of birds hardly seems to fit into the topic of this thread or even this forum.Take it somewhere else.Others! Do NOT respond to this here.

It is Mark's fault but you are right; this is NOT the thread for discussing strata and dating. Do you want this as a start for another thread on the topic? If so I will set it up.

I think it is time you defined what would constitute a "link" between apes and humans. You have suggested that they don't exist. Since you are unable to define just what one would look like your argument isn't progressing.If you find this too difficult to do while keeping up with the discussion I'll be glad to suspend you for a day or two while you think about it.

That is utter nonsense. A lot of words strung together.You have beena asked to define what a "link" between modern man and a relative of both us and apes would look like. What would you need to see to agree that the specimen had characteristics of the "ape-man" that this thread is about.This description doesn't have to have words like "mutation", "punctuated equilibrium" or anything else you mentioned.Do not carry on with out describing just what it is that you say doesn't exist! Then you can show why, from your understanding of evolutionary theory that is what you would expect to see as some evidence (even if not conclusive) for our evolution.It is your turn to step up to the plate with something other than assertions or, in the most recent case, complete Alice-in-wonderland, nonsense.

Good point. Nothingness, you will define the "ape man" or take a rest from posting anything at all. Enough evasion and changing the subject and twisting.

You still have permissions to post to suggestions and questions. The rest I will consider returning in a day.You have continued to evade and not debate in good faith. When you quit making pronouncements which you are unwilling or unable to support the debate can progress.

Nothingness's permissions are returned.If you continue to evade you will loose them again. I'll be back in a few days to see how you've been doing.Stay on topic.
If you make assertions be prepared to back them up when asked.

No they don't.If they don't change by the time I get back in a couple of days you're going to be suspended.
